Thank you for your time and interest. The Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, on behalf of Everton Parish Council. 4 Everton Parish Draft Neighbourhood Development Plan V2 – Winter 2017 Executive Summary Everton Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) is being prepared to guide new development in the Parish up to 2034. It will be used alongside Bassetlaw District Council planning policies and national planning policies to help determine planning applications. This is the revised Draft NDP. This version (V2) has been prepared taking into consideration the responses submitted during the earlier Regulation 14 consultation, which was undertaken in summer 2017. The submitted responses included a number of representations from landowners and agents for amended and proposed new housing sites, and the Parish Council considered that there should be further public consultation on these substantial changes before the NDP is submitted to Bassetlaw District Council. The Draft NDP includes a vision and objectives, planning policies, and proposed housing sites. It is published for formal public consultation for 6 weeks until Friday 15th December 2017. The Plan has been prepared building on previous local public consultations including drop in events, a household and business questionnaire, an issues and options document, identified housing site allocations and a preferred options plan and promoted through the local HEDS parish magazine (as well as the first formal Regulation 14 public consultation in May to June 2017). The NDP includes planning policies and proposed site allocations under the following planning themes: Protecting and Enhancing our Environment – this includes policies to protect local landscape character and wildlife and to ensure new development is of a high quality and is sympathetic to built heritage and archaeology in the Parish. Providing Housing – this includes a criteria based policy to guide new development and identified housing site allocations for Everton Parish to help deliver Bassetlaw's housing requirement over the Plan period. There is also a policy to guide the size, type and tenure of new housing to help ensure new housing is appropriate to local needs and a policy promoting sustainable, energy efficient design. Supporting Business and the Local Economy – this includes a policy to support appropriate economic development and rural diversification. Protecting and Improving Recreational and Community Facilities – this includes a policy to support investment in facilities by the Metcalfe Trust land or any other proposals coming forward, a policy to protect existing recreation and community facilities and support investment in new facilities, and a criteria based policy to guide proposals for an extended or new cemetery. Improving Local Infrastructure and Transport – this refers to actions by the Parish Council supporting improvements to transport and accessibility. 5 Everton Parish Draft Neighbourhood Development Plan V2 – Winter 2017 Following this consultation, the Plan will be finalised and submitted to Bassetlaw District Council who will undertake further consultation. The Plan then will be examined by an independent Examiner, and eventually subjected to a local Referendum. If there is a majority Yes vote, the NDP will be made and used to help determine planning applications in Everton Parish. 6 Everton Parish Draft Neighbourhood Development Plan V2 – Winter 2017 1.0 What is a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP)? “A neighbourhood plan seeks to identify what type of development we want within the Parish. If approved, our Neighbourhood Plan will form part of Bassetlaw District Council’s planning policy for Everton Parish and will be used when considering future devel opments. Our Neighbourhood Plan should set out a shared vision for the future of the Parish, helping to determine the location, type and size of new development, including housing, services, business and leisure opportunities, as well as protecting and enhancing important features. The objective is to make our future development sustainabl e within the context of wider national and local planning policies.” Residents and Business Survey, June 2016 1.1 Neighbourhood Development Plans (NDPs) are a new type of planning policy document, prepared by parish councils and other bodies to guide new development within a defined area, such as a parish. They are used alongside local authority (here, Bassetlaw District Council) and national planning policy documents, to help determine planning applications. NDPs are powerful tools and present significant opportunities for local people to have a real say in how, and where, development should happen within their local area. They can provide the local detail to add value to higher level, more strategic policies. A NDP can cover a range of planning related issues, or just have one, single policy. 1.2 Preparing a NDP is a complex and lengthy process and NDPs cannot be prepared in isolation. They have to be in general conformity with local strategic planning policies and have regard to national planning policy. All the NDP planning policies have to be underpinned by a clear and robust evidence base of local opinion and technical resources, and overall the Plan has to meet a set of “basic conditions” set out in national guidance. Planning Policy Context 1.3 The current strategic local planning policies are set out in Bassetlaw’s Core Strategy and Development Management Policies DPD Adopted December 2011 1. The Core 1 http://www.bassetlaw.gov.uk/everything-else/planning-building/planning-policy/core-strategy- development-management-policies/core-strategy/the-core-strategy.aspx 7 Everton Parish Draft Neighbourhood Development Plan V2 – Winter 2017 Strategy is the key Local Development Framework (LDF) document and provides the overarching framework for all other documents that may be produced. It sets out a vision for change in Bassetlaw to 2028, along with the place-specific policy approaches to be taken in order to achieve this vision. A small number of more detailed development management policies, on key issues that will need to be addressed when delivering new development, are also included. The NDP will have to be in general conformity with the strategic planning policies within this document, as it is the most up to date adopted local plan. 1.4 Bassetlaw District Council is in the early stages of preparing the Bassetlaw Plan 2. This will be the new Local Plan for Bassetlaw and will establish the long term approach to development in the District up to the year 2034. On adoption the Bassetlaw Plan will replace the 2011 Core Strategy & Development Management Policies Development Plan Document. The NDP plan period reflects that of the new Bassetlaw Plan and therefore we are planning for the period up to 2034. 1.5 National planning policies are set out in the National Planning

  • Advisory Visit Rivers Meden and Maun, Thoresby Estate
    Advisory Visit Rivers Meden and Maun, Thoresby Estate, Nottinghamshire January 2018 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the Rivers Meden and Maun on the Thoresby Estate, Nottinghamshire on 4th January, 2018. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Andrew Dobson (River Warden, Thoresby Estate) and Ryan Taylor (Environment Agency). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The River Meden rises to the north of Mansfield and flows east-north- eastwards through a largely rural catchment. The River Maun rises in the conurbation of Mansfield and flows north-eastwards past Ollerton to join the River Meden at Conjure Alders (SK6589872033). The rivers then separate again and re-join approximately 6km downstream near West Drayton (SK7027875118) to form the River Idle (a Trent tributary with its confluence at West Stockwith SK7896894718). Both rivers flow over a geology comprising sandstone with underlying coal measures and there is a history of extensive deep coal mining in the area. Table 1 gives a summary of data collected by the Environment Agency to assess the quality of the rivers for the Water Framework Directive. Both rivers appear to have a similar ecological quality and closer inspection of the categories which make up this assessment reveal that fish and invertebrates were both ‘high’ and ‘good’ for the Meden and Maun respectively in 2016.

If you have a version that does not benefit from these links, a .pdf version can be obtained at http://www.riveraccessforall.co.uk/docs/totally_compelling_evidence.pdf 1 Introduction Opponents of recognition of public rights of navigation in all rivers claim that there were historic limitations on navigation. In particular, they claim that navigation was limited to the tidal sections of rivers, with the exception of a limited and defined listing of the “Great Rivers” (e.g. Thames, Severn and Trent). We suggest, however, “Great Rivers” does not have a precise meaning and effectively means any river capable of navigation; we also believe that there is no historical evidence supporting a distinction between tidal and non-tidal waters. The evidence below shows that, while some of the statutes and Commissions do refer to “Great Rivers”, they related to a diverse number of rivers of varying scale (e.g. the commission of 1415, June 10 ) specifically protected navigation on the River Brant in Lincolnshire under statutes that referred to “Great Rivers”.

  • Retford – November 2019
    APPENDIX D SECTION 19 REPORT – RETFORD – NOVEMBER 2019 Introduction Section 19 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 states: 1. On becoming aware of a flood in its area, a lead local flood authority must, to the extent that it considers it necessary or appropriate, investigate: (a) Which Risk Management Authorities (RMAs) have relevant flood risk management functions. (b) Whether each of those Risk Management Authorities has exercised, or is proposing to exercise, those functions in response to the flood. 2. Where an authority carries out an investigation under subsection (1) of Section 19 it must: (a) Publish the results of its investigation. (b) Notify any relevant Risk Management Authorities. 3. The objective of this report is to investigate which Risk Management Authorities had relevant flood risk management functions during the flooding in November 2019 and whether the relevant Risk Management Authorities have exercised, or propose to exercise, their risk management functions (as per section 19(1) of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010). 4. The Risk Management Authorities with a responsibility for this flooding incident are Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA), Nottinghamshire County Council as Highways Authority (Via East Midlands Ltd.), the Environment Agency (EA), Trent Valley Internal Drainage Board (TVIDB) and Bassetlaw District Council (BDC). 5. It should be noted that this duty to investigate does not guarantee that flooding problems will be resolved and cannot force others into action. Background 6. On the 7th November 2019, parts of the East Midlands experienced a month’s worth of rainfall in just 24 hours.

An associated column base indicated that a structure had been located at the site. The types of pottery represented suggested the structure had a religious function, possibly a shrine or temple, but subsequent geophysical survey did not identify any anomalies. There are no Scheduled Monuments, listed buildings or registered parks within the site or buffer. The National Mapping Programme aerial mapping project did not record any features within the site or buffer, though cropmarks of probable Iron Age to Roman field systems were recorded just to the north.

  • Annual Report 2016-2017.Pdf
    Executive Summary Veolia Environmental Services Nottinghamshire Ltd (Veolia) has been operating Nottinghamshire’s waste and recycling services for Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) since 2005 through the 26 year PFI contract. This annual report covers the period April 2016 to March 2017, the eleventh year of the PFI project agreement. Veolia Nottinghamshire invoiced NCC £26.6m (excluding VAT) for waste management services during this review period. Contract year eleven was an exciting and challenging year during which Veolia finalised a proposal for a treatment solution for non-recyclable waste arisings in the administrative districts of Ashfield and Mansfield. Following extensive negotiations NCC accepted Veolia’s proposal for the construction of a modern refuse derived fuel (rdf) facility at Welshcroft Close, Kirkby in Ashfield. Planning permission for the facility was obtained in July 2016 and construction commenced during September 2016, the facility was built over the following seven months and was ready to receive commissioning waste during March 2017. A permit to operate was issued by the Environment Agency at the beginning of March 2017. The non-recyclable waste will be shredded, baled and wrapped at the facility and then exported for thermal treatment with energy recovery. During this review period the quality of the co-mingled dry recyclables delivered to the Contract MRF was subjected to a targeted project in Mansfield District. The project considered the best method to provide education and support to residents to reduce contamination in kerbside collections. In partnership with Mansfield District Council Veolia designed information leaflets, wheeled bin stickers and tags and used social media and focus groups to target a collection round that had high levels of contamination.

  • Nottinghamshire
    Rates Retention Scheme: Pooling Proposal 1. Pool title or description Nottinghamshire County Pool – all local authorities in Nottinghamshire (excluding Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire Fire Authority and Nottinghamshire Police Authority) 2. Lead Contact for pool; Paul Simpson Director of Finance & Procurement Nottinghamshire County Council County Hall West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 7QP 01159 773441 [email protected] 3. Local authorities included in pool: Nottinghamshire County Council, Ashfield District Council, Mansfield District Council, Gedling Borough Council, Bassetlaw District Council, Broxtowe Borough Council, Newark & Sherwood District Council and Rushcliffe Borough Council. 4. Counties and / or Local Enterprise Partnership(s) pool covers: The pooling area covers Nottinghamshire County, being the two-tier area comprising the County Council and the District Councils of Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Gedling, Mansfield, Newark & Sherwood and Rushcliffe. At this time, the pool excludes Nottingham City Council and the Nottinghamshire Police and Fire authorities. The pooling area reflects longstanding relationships and service integration between the County and District levels and in part, relationships with the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). 5. What is the aim / rationale for the pool? Please briefly describe: As referenced above, the pool builds on the already strong and well-established service relationships, with the overall aim of growing the local economy. Specifically, opportunities will be exploited to enhance the pool through links to wider funding sources such as the D2N2 LEP’s Growing Places Funding and potentially, European Funding where that exists. This will allow the partners to prioritise activity that increases the competitiveness of the area and stimulates private sector economic growth. It will also allow for the planning of economic growth across the functional economic area covered by the pool rather than being constricted by local authority administrative boundaries.
